A Thought And A Device !

They say, "I have changed. "

What to do when, a thought drops in,

They say, " drop the screen, act in accordance,

To the essence of the requirement". 

                                     ~

What to do when, a thought drops in,

If It goes, unnoticed, unwritten,

If it goes to a home run, 

With others ink and pen. 

                                     ~

All I have is a thought and a device,

I am a man of my words, 

The weapon of my marching thoughts,

The reactionary sheild to deflect and run. 

                                     ~

I can be found, in solitude, with fingers swiping, 

On the screen, or with a pen and an A4 sheet,

Blueprint of marching thoughts,

World, is the only inspiring distraction. 

                                     ~

I heal through words and hearts shown, 

On posts of the words shared out in the public,

They say, " drop the screen, out of the bubble,"

World, is the only place of bane of existence.

                                     ~

They say, "I have grown. "

I look like a wordsmith and a loner, smiling one,

A house to build, a family to look after,

What else do I know, to keep me afloat? 

                                     ~

All I have is a thought and a device !

                 ~           ~         ~

Words heal. Ideas march forward. Thoughts slip through unless we capture them.
